Singaporeans from all walks of life, even those from the 70 percent, are nodding their heads and looking thoughtful at what is to come.

This after Singapore is set to increase the overall cost of living by 30 percent to raise awareness of the importance of life, as the only way to know something is important is if it is expensive.

One Singaporean, Bu Yao Ming, said: “Sometimes Singaporeans take life for granted. It is good to remind them that life is important and the only way to draw their attention to it is to increase the overall cost of living.”

“If the price goes up, the importance goes up as well.”

“The greater the pinch, the higher up the priority list.”

Other locals said there is nothing wrong with increasing or decreasing prices as and when one feels like it.

Another local, Mai Huan Loh, said: “They can increase the price of PAP membership and still no one will care.”

One Singaporean, Mei You Qian, said: “Ya, I’m sure I’m responsible for pushing up the cost of rental that brings in more money for rent-seeking capitalists. And it is my fault that I let in so many foreigners into this country.”

Other locals also agree they have a hand in lowering their own costs.

Jiang Dao Li, another Singaporean, said: “Ya, there are many ways for Singaporeans to lower their cost of living. One way is to avoid buying an HDB flat. Another way is to not buy a car. And try not to get married. And eat two meals a day.”
